4. Post-processing for Technicolor CineStyle

Acquisition with Technicolors CineStyle will generate what appears to be a flat, desaturated looking image. While this image may appear unappealing and undesirable, it is in fact an ideal starting point for post-production and color correction. To properly color correct and/or view footage shot with Technicolor CineStyle we recommend color correcting while viewing through a S-curve shaped look-up table (LUT) in your editing or color correction application. You may download such a LUT using the links below. If your editing or color correction application does not offer the ability to import and use LUTs, other controls like the ASC CDL, Lift/Gamma/Gain, or Offset/Power/Slope can be used to color correct the image.
